"No modern technology will exist without algebra, no mechanical invention without geometry, but nothing will exist without hard work and willpower."
Classroom Material Needed: Pencil, Eraser, Notebook, Binder, Folder.
Classroom Expectations:
1) Students must work quietly and must be respectful of all people and property in the classroom.
2) Students must raise their hand and wait for permission to speak during class and listen when someone is talking.
3) Students must remain in their assigned seats during class and ask for permission to do other task.
4) Electronic devices, food, and drinks are not allowed in classroom (unless otherwise permitted by the teacher.)
Course Title: Pre Algebra
Pre-Algebra is a course all students take in middle school. This course prepare students for an Algebra class which they will take in high school. These variables include things like the relationship between supply of an object and its price. When we use a mathematical statement to describe a relationship, we often use letters to represent the quantity that varies, since it is not a fixed amount. These letters and symbols are referred to as variables. (See the Appendix One for a brief review of constants and variables.)
**Who Lost More?**Using Percent Decrease to Determine Weight Loss
In this lesson, students analyze ways for calculating weight loss. Students compare the results and choose the method they consider to be the best and most fair.
GAME: **Now and Then**Computing Percents by Playing a Game Using Real Data
Students use their knowledge of percent computations and percent change to answer each game show question
What are my chances
Activity: Students will explore theoretical and experimental probability and the relationship between them. Students will also graph an experiment to further explore the relationship according to the law of large numbers.
**Highway Robbery**
Using Ratios, Unit Rates and Proportions to Solve a Fictitious Bank Robbery.
The National Bank of Illuminations has been robbed! Students apply their knowledge of ratios, unit rates, and proportions to sort through the clues and deduce which suspect is the true culprit.
Slicing Cup Cakes
Activity: In this lesson, students use real-world models to develop an understanding of fractions, decimals, unit rates, proportions, and problem solving.
Discovering Gallon Man
Students experiment with units of liquid measure used in the customary system of measurement. They practice making volume conversions in the customary system.
